[New-Poetry] Poet's Bookshelf

[jforjames at aol.com]

You're right...it needs work. I'm going to lay it out?in html?& get someone
to host it on a website.

I'd like to add more description about each book...but that?will have to be phase two. 
In?phase one I'm?just?identifying the books as?
poetry-related essays, literary criticism, manuals/guidebooks,?aesthetics/philosophy, art-related essays, etc. Short & sweet?categorizations?like that.?But?even that's not as easy it seems:?
(1) Because I haven't read?all of these books (which I'm sure is no surprise because it would
be nigh impossible for anyone?except some super-scholar), and (2) some of them thwart
my?simplistic tags or?the book contains a mixed bag of one or more categories. 

FYI...I'm compiling this list in a sortable Excel?spreadsheet,?and if anyone wants a copy in that format, just email me.

A pretty impressive list.



2 quibbles, for what they're worth.??




On my browser, at least, the whole list appears as a solid slug of type.? An actual list would be much more readable.??




Also, the longer the list, the less helpful it is without some annotation.? Even some bare description would be nice, if not evaluative comments or some categorization.??




Among contemporary critical voices, I recommended David Kirby's *Ultra-Talk* collection of essays a while back.? I would also like to recommend with great pleasure his collection entitled *What Is a Book*, which I've been dipping into with delight.??
